This video covers a summer spent doing wildlife photography in Yellowstone National Park. I lived in Yellowstone for 3 months as a seasonal employee, and I photographed Yellowstone wildlife the whole time. I was in Yellowstone during the historic flooding in June, and in this video I cover the floods and photograph bison, wolves, grizzly bears, elk, pronghorn, and more. I also photograph wildlife in Grand Teton National Park. This video showcases what it’s like to live in Yellowstone photographing wildlife.

I've made several trips to Alaska just for the brown bear photography. It will become addicting as the bear are bigger and of course the country is definitely more isolated. It was rare that we ever encountered people, you'll love it I'm sure, assuming its your first trip.

That bear encounter is awesome. Almost every other clips is like 12 people stopped by the road with long lenses and it just makes the park look so touristy and full of NPCs. Your gut instinct and knowledge was rewarded with a genuine interraction.

@BeefNEggs057 Жыл бұрын

What about people wanting to see things they’ve never seen makes them NPCs? I think it makes them human and curious. At least it isn’t a wreck they’re rubber necking at for once. Now that’s NPC behavior 100%. I’m sure the locals get hardened to the beauty of the wildlife but that is truly what an NPC is in my book. A person surrounded by beauty and so crusty they can’t even see it.

@ploopy8780 Жыл бұрын

@@BeefNEggs057 No it's really fuckin annoying my man. People getting super close to animals they shouldn't and putting the animals in danger of being shot. We need a better system to deal with people going into national parks. I don't mind if someone gets gored by a bison, I care if the bison gets shot because of it.
